 * Delete. $30 million net worth covers a huge number of the rich and not so famous. Bearian (talk) 23:56, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * How do you know that? Besides, nobody said that $30 mil is a notability guideline, this list still conforms to WP:NLIST.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:06, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I know that from personal experience and from being an educated person up to date with economic news. Due to inflated real estate prices, high oil prices, the Trump tax cut favoring the wealthy, stock buy-backs, and multiple stock market bubbles today, there are thousands of people who have $30 Million net worth or more, which is the "standard" in this list, the vast majority of whom are not notable. I'm middle-class yet I know lots of wealthy people, some of whom have been my clients. (I'm the rare honest lawyer who has little wealth.) There are many ordinary people who have that kind of property and are totally unknowns - people who have done nothing with their lives except to be born into wealth, or win the lottery, or who "marry up". As Balsac said, many a great fortune is the result of a crime, or to that effect. Based on past discussions at WP:AfD, and particularly by, one has to be a Billionare (*with a capital B) to be automaticallty notable merely for one's wealth. Therefore, this list makes no sense. 12:34, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SALAT, specifically "too general or too broad in scope". Ultra high-net-worth individual claims 226,450 people qualify! Billionaires make manageable lists by wealth. $30 million is chump change, comparatively speaking. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:11, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Ajf773 (talk) 10:19, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete extremely broad and bordering unenyclopedic. The list in and itself shows why it is not notable since by its standard it will contain huge number of non notable people, way more than the notable ones. –Ammarpad (talk) 21:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
